Part II
Next up, I decided to do the paint game (which I learned about from Amy's thread linked above).
The concept is simple: you take out a bunch of paint cans and brushes and see how many times they paint themselves. I had a hard time picking colours because their natural ones were so different xD Ultimately, I came up with this:
Probably not the fairest, sorry
I tried. Anyway, here are my rules:
- Each colour is worth 1 point.
-- If a pet uses the same colour twice in a row and effectively doesn't change colour, that doesn't count as an extra point (since I can't be sure if they did)
-- Painting markings counts BUT they don't count separately. For example, if a pet has 3 sets of markings and paints them all at once, that counts as 1 point.
- The pink paint is worth 5 points!
Leo took the initiative this time!
Ausrine wasn't far behind!
Leo is still blue but Ausrine painted herself pink! She already has a 5-point lead and this early on, which is impressive.
Ausrine is HERE TO WIN, NOT TO MAKE FRIENDS.
Tuman caught up, painting herself blue.
Ausrine is DETERMINED and decided to paint herself red.
Tuman is fierce competition!
Ausrine barely needs to move to paint herself green.
Ausrine and Tuman hit the blue paint almost at the same time. Leo has lost is early lead, and everyone else is just... not using the paint at all.
Leo remembers the game and turns red. Ausrine, meanwhile, decided that all blue was too monochromatic. xD
Tuman paints her markings brown. A short time later, Gatsby and Raffles use the paint cans for the first time.
For a while, nothing much happens until Tuman goes for a grassy look. Damien is SUPER CLOSE to the pink can but seems generally terrified.
There's a whole lot of "not much" happening for a while until Tuman and Ausrine change colours again (Ausrine painted her blue bits red). Damien decided to wash his hands.
Damien is still chilling near the pink paint. Raffles looks like moss.
Damien finally paints himself! Yay! I can't tell if he painted himself entirely or just the "main" hair (keeping the markings the original colour). Someone help me figure that out!
Gatsby paints himself red and looks like a fox. Tuman is a brown fluff now.
Everyone flocks near a red can, though that only changes Tuman. Gatsby swaps to green to be contrarian. Poor Damien looks a bit overwhelmed. <3
Leo dgaf. His interest in the paint seems to have evaporated entirely. Damien is SO CLOSE to that blue brush.
Raffles joins the red clique and gets threatened by Gatsby for his betrayal. Tuman goes for a black-and-brown colour scheme that looks really cute. Damien washes his hands, while Ausrine and Leo seem to just be chillin' way over there.
Leo rushes across the screen towards a green paint can.
He almost immediately switches to red again, as does Tuman. Damien is still very, very close to the pink can.
Leo really seems to be back in the game!
Same with Raffles (who matches the ball now lol). Damien still hasn't moved, even when I try to pick him up and set him down again.
Damien runs off while Gatsby paints himself blue.
Ausrine seems to have given up on the game, though Leo tries to challenge her. Damien approaches the pink paint again. Tuman switches her look entirely, to blue and pink, while Gatsby changes to brown.
Though he doesn't waste much time switching to white. Leo challenging Ausrine seems to have worked, because they wrestle and she bumps against the green paint can!
Gatsby is back to brown. Damien is... sticking his tongue out?
Gatsby's white again, while Tuman is now brown and pink.
Leo must have run into the brown paint can.
Gatsby picks a nautical colour scheme, and Tuman replaced brown with red.
Raffles is super excited about his new colour, lol.
Tuman goes all blue, Leo white. Ausrine seems tired and Damien decides to just take a nap.
Gatsby boldly goes for the pink paint. Tuman, Damien and Ausrine seem shaken up.
There are no changes for a while, until Raffles decides to play with the green brush.
Not to be outdone, Gatsby returns to white. Raffles returns to blue, while Tuman decides to shake things up a bit by adding some brown.
Finally, Leo paints himself blue at the last possible second. Tuman looks happy to have grabbed the ball, everyone else seems tired.
Totals (please correct me if I'm wrong):
Ausrine: 14
Damien: 1 or 2?
Gatsby: 15
Leo: 8
Raffles: 7
Tuman: 20
This means the winners are: Tuman (1st), Gatsby (2nd) and Ausrine (3rd). I guess Ausrine got a huge lead early on, because for much of the game she forgot all about it and still placed in the top 3!
After this I cleaned up the playpen and let them rest. Then, I tried to take them to the beach, but the game finally decided 6 pets was too much to handle (I was worried about this and even quit between games to save what had already happened) so I took it as a sign to wrap things up.
Once again, thank you everyone!
